HTML table uniform row size..

I have a question on HTML tables.. I want my table rows to be of uniform width and height. Because when the size of the cell values vary, they ajust and it affects the uniformity. How do I make the cell values to be of constant height and width, unmindful of the cell value size? Any style attrbutes for this? I tried max-height & max-width.. Couldn't get it to work.. Please help..

One more I missed. I also don't mind if the text in cells are partly cut off..

Thanks. The width portion of the problem is taken care of now.. But I have the row height auto adjusted for a large cell value.. So I still don't get the overall uniformity across the table. Suggestions please..

Oops!!! The table-layout: fixed; attribute allocates the table width equally to all the columns. But I have some columns which are wider than the others. Here there are unwanted spaces for a short cell text and clipped part for a wide cell text. So the non-uniformity problem is back again on the width part. Please help..

In other words, I want to allocate cell width individually for each cell. Looking forward to your help..

Steve,

Please use the width attribute for individual cells as you see in my post from July 26.
